Our newest podcast

I like using this space to tout new projects we’re working on at WORLD. It makes sense to do that here, right up front, given our mission of Biblically objective journalism, our goal of making that journalism increasingly helpful to you, and your central role in empowering all of that.

So here’s the latest: a new podcast series called Lawless, launching tin a few months, hosted by WORLD senior writer Lynn Vincent. Lawless is WORLD’s entry into the “true crime” podcast genre.

Of course, you can expect WORLD to bring its own flavor to the format. That certainly will be true of Season 1, during which we will tell the true story of Terri Schiavo.

Schiavo, you may remember, died in 2005 after the court-ordered removal of her feeding tube. WORLD reported on her case extensively back then, and we’ll draw on a lot of that reporting. We’ll add fresh interviews and research to help paint a personal picture of Terri, help us understand the people around her who were making decisions about her treatment, recount the legal and moral battle to save her life (but that ended in her tragic death), and describe the energy her story provided to the pro-life movement.

Lawless is the latest podcast we’ve been working on, but don’t forget about the other good work we’re doing in our WORLD Radio division. We’re right in the middle of Season 2 of Legal Docket, our excellent and entertaining analysis of important Supreme Court cases from the court’s current session. And if you’re not already a regular listener to The Olasky Interview, Effective Compassion, or ­Listening In, you’ll find updated episodes for each of those podcasts.

If you’ve never heard one of our podcasts, you’re missing out on a major outlet for WORLD’s Biblically objective journalism. The newest podcast, Lawless, is a great reason to start listening now, but each is worth your consideration. All of WORLD’s podcasts are on all the major podcast platforms. You can find them on our website (wng.org) as well.
